2015 Aprilia Caponord to debut at INTERMOT

One of the prominent changes is a larger wheel up front – swapping the previous 17 inch wheel for a wire-spoke 19 inch; the rear remains a 17 incher though.  The bike also gets a 24-litre fuel tank, LED running lights, a larger screen, aluminium saddlebags, crash bars and skid plate for better off road ability.

Powered by Aprilia’s 1200cc V-Twin engine, the Caponord Rally comes equipped with the Aprilia Dynamic Damping semi-active suspension system that automatically adapts its calibration to match the road surface and riding style.

Additional features include ride-by-wire throttle, three selective engine maps, traction control, cruise control and switchable ABS.

Piaggio will formally unveil the Rally on September 30 in Cologne and the bike will start arriving in showrooms in Europe by January 2015.
